THE OUTLOOK IN NEW YORK

The Republicans of New York will hold
their state convention at Saratoga on
today. 1t seems likely that Colonel
Fred D. Grant will head the ticket for
secretary of state He is an unassuming
gentleman of good sense and has friends
outside his party as well as in 1t, DOUBT
less he would gain considerable number
of votes among the many friends and ad.
mirers of his distinguished father.
The canvass in New York this year will
exceed in interest that In any other state
Naturally the state Is close one, consid-
ering Its large population, and there will
be number Of uncertain elements in the
coming campaign. The Prohibition vote
is likely to be larger than ever before, and
while this cuts most heavily into the Re-
publicans, the Labor vote, on the other
hand, will probably most hurt the Demo
Gratis. But even the Labor party has two
branches-the socialists and the George
ties which makes it doubly uncertain
quantity.
In 1880 General Garfield carried New
York by 81, 033, but in 1882 Cleveland car
ried it for governor against Folger by 1872,
S54. That was owing to dissensions among
the Republicans, and in the presidential
campaign of 1884 the state was so close that
Mr.. Cleveland obtained plurality of only
l, lat. Two years ago Gov Hill had II,
1874 plurality and last year Judge Peckham
Oemocrat,) had only 1918 plurality, al
though the Labor vote In the city of New
York was cast for him But for that he
would have been defeated.
If the Republicans this year are united
and harmonious, as it seems probable they
will be, there is fair prospect of their
carrying the state by solid plurality. If
they shall succeed in doing so it will be q
good beginning for the national campaign
of 1888. since the president will undoubt-
edly make strong effort to retain control
of his own state

CALDWELL'S BOYCOTT.

We give place to the subjoined communi-
cation from Caldwell solely in view of the
fact that Mr.. Croker made use of deroga-
tory expressions publicly in Wichita in
reference to Caldwell, and not from any
interest we have or feel in the matter.

things. The allegations against Caldwell,
as we said, were made In this place and
Caldwell not having the means of stating
the ether side Of the matter to those who
heard the accusations against it and its cit
liens other than the press of this place we
are constrained to give the article room in
these columns 1t is as follows:
In the last issue of the Wichita press is
published the statement of Sam Croker
that the Age of this city lis being boycott.
ted on behalf Of the corrupt city govern
ment" Of Caldwell. 1t seems to me that
this statement should have been verified
before being published, because being both
scandalous and untrue 1t Is likely to work
injury to this town. Some time since the
editor Of the Age roughly criticised the
council because they had forfeited the fran
thise of the water works company for fall
ing to furnish, or even making any effort
to furnish the city with water for long
time past. The majority of the citizens,
tired of paying water bonus of Sc, 900
annually and getting no water naturally
support the council; and one of the mem
bers of the council angered at the domi
neering criticisms flung at him,
declared war, and ordered his ad-
vertising out Of the Age. There, that is
the famous boycott" over which Croker
is whining and numbering throughout the
state, wherever he can get any one to
listen. You will notice at once that it is a
purely personal affair, and no one for a
moment thinks of any political use for it
except the Croker, who, In that ford
style of English peculiarly his own. de-
clares that it Is an Internal organized effort
to get away with the Labor by crushing its
organ. Not only does Croker abuse the
council, but he goes for the mayor, police
judge, marshal, constable and ali the rest.
and yet nearly all of them were supported
and elected by K. of L. votes last spring.
In No. ? of his Age Croker said: The
K of Is. elected Mayor Smelling at the
last city election, are favored with K. of L.
city marshal, K. of l.. squire, K of L. con-
stable. K. of L. school treasurer, etc And
now Croker calls these gentlemen-these
Knights Of Lsbor-the corrupt city gov
eminent" of CALDWELL If Crocker's word
was reliable, this would be pretty show
ing for the union labor influence In this
city, wouldn't it,
There is nothing political In it. Ii is

The steel cruiser Boston, built by John

der the direction Of the navy department,
had Its trial trip the other day, and proves
an entire success. A very odd contrast

The statement sent out from Fort Scott
through the dispatches day or two ago
was an eye opener to the Louisiana sugar
pla nters. They were disposed to discredit
the statement and figures which showed
the yield of sugar from sorghum cane to
be considerably in excess of that from the
ribbon cane. and the diffusive process by
which the sorghum sugar Is made at Fort
Scott renders the product equal in every
respect TO the best made from the Louisi-
ana cane Southern Kansas is specially
adapted, in climate, soil, ETC., to the sue
cessful production of the sugar cane and
the wonderful success attending the ex-
periments in sugar making at Fort Scott
will no doubt stimulate the cultivation of
that crop to much greater extent through
out the state, particularly in the southern
half than ever before. The product Of that
crop from this state in future will form no
inconsiderable part In the aggregate of the
wor Ids product, and while it may affect
the market price of that staple somewhat,
1t will afford the farmers, the producers, a
ha ndsome return for their labor and ex-
pense in producing 1t. What the Louisi-
ana planters will do about it has not trans
pired. About the only thing they can do
will be to adopt some process by which a
greater yield of sugar may be obtained, or
substitute sorghum for the ribbon cane or
both,

AN UNWARRANTED AsPERsIoN.:

Hamilton, the Wyandotte train wrecker,
has been acquitted. While this decision
was hardly expected, it will cause no
great surprise to those who are conversant
with the peculiar state of affairs in the
Kansas town. Seldom was the guilt Of a
malefactor more clearly established; but
conviction has always been looked upon
as impossible, for the simple reason
that no honest, unprecedented jury could
have been selected. The town stricktly
belongs to the knights, is ruled by them
or by persons pledged to them. The
crime was committed by Knights, and
they were bound to see that no conviction
was made. With such preponderance of
the labor element an impartial jury was
out of the question. All their energies
were devoted to acquitting Hamilton, and
neither money nor time was spared. How
well they succeeded the verdict above
speaks for itself. 1t made no difference
that two in the party of six wreckers who
went with Hamilton, confessed to the
wrecking, Hamilton was discharged"
In the foregoing statement the Globe
Democrat casts an aspersion upon the court
and jury which tried Hamilton, upon the
good people of Wyandotte and the whole
state of Kansas. The verdict of the jury
in the Hamilton case was surprise to the
public because the evidence against him
was very strong, though pure
ly .circumstantial, and the con-
viction Of others charged with
the same offense helped to impress the pub
lie mind with the idea of guilt. And what
helped in that matter was the fact that
Hamilton belonged to the same organiza-
ton with those found guilty. Many mem
bers of that organization have been guilty
of wrong doing, some of heinous offenses,
but that does not prove every member alike
guilty, for we all know that many, very
many good citizens and incorruptible men
belong to that organization.
If any such circumstances attended the
trial assare intimated in the extract quoted
the court and its officers would certainly
have been cognizant Of it, and unless
wholly corrupt would have prevented such
termination of the trial, even If In order
to do so it were necessary to transfer the
case to another place. The alacrity with
which the American citizen forms a con-
clusion from evidence submitted is COM
pliment to his intelligence, but as much
cannot be said for his judgment when he
suffers prejudice to intervene The termi-
nation of the trial in question, though dis
appointing to most persons who had kept
the run of the case, does not warrant the
calumny against Kansas or Wyandotte or
the court contained in the paragraph
quoted and we denounce 1t as such.

KANSAS SUGAR.

Judge Parkinson, of the Fort Scott
sugar works, sums up the matter as fol
lows:
We shall build factories and make Kan.
sas greater sugar producing state than is
Louisiana. The Louisiana planter mus,
have five dollars per ton for his cane to
make a profit. This, with their best fac
tories, yield from 100 to 100 pounds OF
sugar, with good season, and they have
about four good seasons out of five. Our
cane can be produced protitably for $50
per ton and at less expense than that re-
quired to work the Louisiana cane. We
can get from 100 to $50 pounds of equally
as good sugar every year | have said
nothing of our seed that yields about
twenty bushels to the acre. nor of our in.
creased syrup produc. over that of the
Louisiana cane

The repeal of the sugar tariff would
probably be death blow to that great In
dustry on which Kansas hopes are built SC
high.-Garden City Sentinel.
The repeal of the sugar tariff would no,
only not be death blow to that great In.
dustry, but would not materially affect the
price OF that article. Kansas favors the
protection afforded by the tariff to the
sugar industry just as she does to every
other industry, 1. e. from principle. and
OF from selfish interest. Kansas is not
a new convert to the doctrine of protec.
lection to American industries She has
lways advocated the doctrine and will
ontinue TO do so whether the sugar inter
est becomes profitable, as we believe 1t will,
or not
